Full details

It provides a comprehensive approach to joint health by utilizing high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids, cartilage-supporting nutrients, and weight management tools to alleviate physical stress on a dog's frame. While this diet is highly effective for long-term joint maintenance, it requires veterinary guidance to ensure it aligns with your pet's specific medical history and nutritional needs.

Ensure fresh, clean drinking water is always available at all times. Store the 12kg bag in a cool, dry place and keep the bag tightly sealed after each feeding to maintain the freshness of the essential fatty acids.
